Hello.

 

I can't see any problems as such, although there were some time ago.  If you are telling me the 5 items listed are harmful, then I will remove them.  Mindspark I'd heard about, but clueless as to the others.

 

If you are definite in this, I will proceed when I have a reply.

 

Thanks for your response.

OK, here goes:

Is that everything taken care of now?

 

Do I have to tell Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to do anything?

 

(BTW, I should point out that the five items are in quarantine, so I take it I should delete? Do I do a re-scan?)

The quarantined file can be deleted.

If all is well no need to re-scan.
